Yeah, while she plays this seeming unforgiving B-word, honestly I couldn't imagine her entire life with "See that man with the happy smiling kids? That's your daddy! And NO, you can't have that because he doesn't really want you because he already has them." Oh yeah, just a little bitter won't even begin to describe a lifetime of resentment.

Yeah, I was wondering that too as I thought he pulled into a turning lane and just parked the car which would make him a real douche. My wife said that it looked like he pulled over into a protected parking lane, so looks like he was in a valid parking area. As he gets on the back of her scooter you can see the parking lane, long enough for maybe 3 or 4 vehicles. Maybe just for the purpose of the show to make it parking, but maybe IRL it's a bus stop?

He's been playing the "Pick me" guy in other series such as Silent. I do like his acting, but yeah he really seems to be typecast as the perennial simp. This series is in the early stage, I hope he gets a good arc and finds a backbone.

not after that last episode - it's now call a Porsche Bathtub! LOL!!!

yeah, considering that even now at the later episodes he still shows zero remorse or regret, but just fear of the truth coming out. for him it wasn't like a one night drunken fling, it has been a lifetime love affair, and honestly her marriage is truly a sham. While we do see the other woman being conniving, she is also a victim being lied to and played along these many years. Although her already being a doctor, that she's so willing to stay in the shadows of the affair is a bit baffling as she seems pretty headstrong herself to stay with that BS for so many years.

yeah, fingers crossed that they don't write her ending turning tail and sticking with a husband who has cheated through her entire married life. She has this incredible arc, finally making herself successful and if they write some stupid "magical ending" where her cheating husband miraculously becomes super faithful and will be hers forever will totally destroy this series. While it is great that she is slowly embracing the possibility of a new love, I hope they just write her as continuing onward in her reborn career, and with a nice love interest in tow!

Just a side note on why I love that movie is the ending credits song Matabaki - Back Number. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiaINIiVG5s
It wasn't until I read a translation of one of the chorus, the words really resonated with me.
"Happiness isn’t something like the repeating cycle
Of nights of falling stars and brilliant mornings
It’s being able to hold an umbrella over a special someone as rain falls upon them
It’s okay if there’s no answer
To the question of what we’re living for
As long as you can protect the people you wish to see, and the things important to you."

This song could have easily applied to "Behind the Blue Eyes" as well.

The 8 year engagement is based on true story, and with a happy ending IRL. If you are a Takeru Satoh or Tao Tsuchiya fan, this definitely is a pleasure!

That is also a very good romantic movie, my wife loves that one. For myself "The 8 year Engagement" was closer showing the perseverance and faith of the significant other and the sacrifice they are willing to go thru for their true love.

Don't get me wrong, the movie is really well done.
The story and story telling were excellent. I felt the acting was done well, and the love story was quite upbeat and funny at times. When the reveal comes, the impact can be seen on the mask ML has been wearing but underneath the depth of his loneliness shows. However his tremendous love for her gives him the strength to put each foot forward each day as she gets closer and closer back to reality.
Again, what was so heartbreaking was the final scene and letting out that little sigh as he placed the cassette tape at the door as the cycle has started yet again.

Not really sad per se, but yes tissues are needed as the story unfolds.
It's not that they can't be together, but just imagine being so close to the person you love all your life and suddenly she has no clue who you are, as a matter of fact your very presence frightens her. You will do everything in your power to help her recover, and she eventually does.
.... and just as suddenly --- the cycle starts again...

The very last scene was heartbreaking, and while he appears upbeat putting the envelope by the door, we know now he is repeating the recovery cycle.

I guess not totally sad - Alzheimers.

blue eyes may also mean innocence, which sort of was the case of the FL as she wandered back in her memories. She saw only young adult self as a result of her illness.

No deaths, but still sad.

I honestly tried to watch it, but the subs were just too poorly translated. Unless you had an idea what they are saying in the conversation, the dialog was too disjointed to understand. 10 minutes was my max before my brain melted!

You nailed this for me! While I for the most part enjoyed this series, honestly the darkness, and the conspiracies and the mommy madness just overwhelmed me and kinda put me off. Considering the tone of the OST was light and romantic inserting those murders just really seemed out of place. I honestly feel it could have been a great series if they made it about a local eatery where all those school mom's shop and then have episodes of each of their respective stories. I mean even just the story of the hardships of the FL as a single "mom" and her "daughter" struggling to stay afloat of her financial situation, managing to also take care of her challenged sibling and eventually finding her true love through her cooking would have by itself made for a great series.
As well, for all her customers that boycott her, yet faithfully came back is a testament to how fantastic her food must have been, and as you said would have been interesting to see more of her food dishes!

yeah, the english translation is literal, and misses out the real meaning of the sentences. So dialogs are disjointed and honestly a bit nonsensical. I tried watching and many times needed to rewind several times and guess what the real meaning was, but just too cumbersome even with a decent speed connection. Also while videos can be downloaded the links from MIXDROP do not have subtitles embedded in the file, so after downloaded there are no subtitles at all. I got as far as ep 3 when I just got tired of chasing this. Should the real subber one day take this on again, maybe I will try a rewatch, but for now there's better series to watch.

don't hold your breath, it appears to be a long wait ahead.

Thanks! Wow - bonus - 11 episodes! I didn't check again, so was thinking only 10 episodes to this series! Another episode of fun! Thanks again to you and to GRRTT!

Yeah, so cute! I have seen her in another sword fighting movie "Memory of the Sword", and had thought she could pull off a John Wick type of action flick, so was very excited to see her in this pic. A far cry from her frumpy mommy role in CCR.
For the debut girl assassin, I didn't notice until after the nasty fight scene when they stood together and got that OMG moment that's the two together!
I loved that dialog after the bar fight - "I guess we're in trouble, right?" "No, we're f**ked!"
